Kimberly Lester began her career in the real estate industry in 1989 as a manager of residential multi-family homes. In 1994 Kimberly obtained her Brokers license and opened Wise Property Management and Consulting company. Under her leadership, WPM&C became well known throughout the Puget Sound area for assisting apartment owners and local companies with the management of their large apartment communities. Kimberly trained local real estate professionals in site sales, oversaw marketing campaigns and specialized in taking low occupancy & problem buildings and turning them into successful enterprises. During this time Kimberly also taught clock hour classes to other real estate professionals through Mykut Real Estate School. In 1998, after several successful years in multi-family home management, Kimberly turned her attention to residential sales. While selling homes for a local builder, she grew quickly in her knowledge of the real estate market, law and ethics, forms and procedures, and was soon representing buyers and sellers in real estate transactions. Kimberly’s success has soared; she has won numerous production awards and regularly ranks in the top 3% of all Real Estate Brokers® nationwide. She has flourished in the Issaquah branch of John L. Scott Real Estate which is often number one in production for the area. Kimberly founded The Lester Group along with Cory Brewer, and she was the top agent in the Issaquah John L. Scott office in 2004. Kimberly has held and currently holds several designations and accreditations such as the Certified Residential Specialist (CRS), Luxury Home Marketing Specialist (LHMS), Accredited Staging Professional (ASP), Accredited Buyers Representative (ABR), Associate Broker, On-Line Agent™, Quality Street™ agent and others. All of Kimberly’s successes are a result of a couple of simple things — her tireless pursuit of excellence and her unwavering commitment to the service of her clients! |
